I’ve been recently buying superfakes because, in spite of the price increases, the models that I like are getting sold out. And many of the people working at the boutiques are just rude and condescending, so I don’t wanna deal with that nonsense.
@@nora4981 there is a whole reddit community about it! A lot of people who would usually strictly buy authentic say they’re starting to get into reps because LV quality is starting to get worse but the prices are continuing to increase. I seen someone do a comparison on a rep and auth NF bought and used for the same amount of time and the auth was wrinkling more than the rep.
The *preluxscom* canvas tote bag actually reminds me of Hermes Garden Party, too. Thanks for making this video on suggesting more budget friendly alternatives. Love it
If you’re looking for something to last for many years and possibly be handed down or regifted, it should be genuine something that is a fake fake means inexpensive material. It will fall apart and it will not endure for a long time
Imitation bags have been on the rise over the years Whether it's the real thing, a knockoff, an "inspired piece" or a straight knockoff: whatever you want! *topluxs* has it all for you!
I have 7 LV bags, wallets and key purse which I purchased many years ago. Although there’s no doubt that they’re all authentic ( bought half of them in France and half in Tokyo), I re-visited my items and checked the codes, symmetry etc. and I’m happy to say that they’re all “ genuine’.
I agree with you about the zippers. You see a lot of UA-camrs raving about the zips on the regular canvas bags saying they're so smooth and zip up "like butter"! But I don't agree! The zippers aren't bad, but they could be a lot better! Especially for the money we're paying. 😒
kay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the LYXBAGS book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations
This was so informative and great! I bought my first Louis Vuitton bag in December 7, 2020 at the Cesar palace hotel forum shop the Louis Vuitton store the V totte MM bag and wallet. The quality is unmatched. And the service was great, even the recite was well made, Lol. Thanks for the video and information. There are allot of counterfeit bags out there but nothing compares to the real thing! This is my new bag. And worth the price!.
I'm very happy with the HIDUPZ package. Beautiful storage compartments. Looks and feels like leather. The shoulder straps and zipper are of high quality. Very happy with the purchase.
You are such a wonderful person. I appreciate you not judging anyone if they prefer replicas for whatever reason and that it’s all about whatever makes you happy. More power to you.
I love that you don’t judge the people that buy fakes. I find people that claimed to be appalled about factories in China to be hypocritical . Those are the same people that have an iPhone, iPad, Galaxy phone ext. and won’t think twice about the parts that are made in factories in China among many other goods that we all enjoy. Yet it’s only a problem when when it comes to replicas.
"I love a good *esluxscom* because it helps me decide if I want to buy the real thing or NOT." That part right there. That's IT. I feel like people stigmatize dupes but for me, I pause on large purchases that are trendy or when I feel the overconsumption mania setting in FOR ME. (It's something I struggle with LOL! I'm easily convinced to buy things I don't wear or use. They'll literally have the tags and I'll even forget I bought something and have 2 or 3 of them in my closet.) Love this video!
It's so annoying when people question the authenticity of your bags. One of my (annoying) colleagues said to me once "Oh, I like your bag. Is it a knock off?"...... It just shows their lack of knowledge of the brand if they can't even tell whether the bag is real. Very informative video. Thanks for sharing x
Yuenny Lam Girl!! I'm a high school math teacher and my husband is a SFC in the Army I think we have more to worry about than educating ourselves on the authenticity of LV bags if I bought it in store I ain't inspecting it because I know where I bought it and if I bought it on the streets it's because I used the money I saved to pay for school supplies for my students who are underprivileged..
So what if they "lack knowledge" of a brand/bag????? Its seriously not that deep....I'm a lv collector and don't expect others to have full knowledge of what I personally like. To expect that is borderline laughable. It's like me expecting You to know whether my Arabia pottery set is authentic. I live out in the country and people always assume my bags are fake but it doesn't bother me at all because I love my little collection regardless of comments. I don't think the lack of knowledge is the real issue with your colleague here....
Yuenny Lam well some people are just not so much in to bags so she most likely didn’t mean anything by asking if it a knock off. She might have though it’s silly to spend so much on a bag. Some are collectors and some have no interests. I have a real Louis but I would not care if it was fake. Not a big deal to me. LA
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the HIDUPZ leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.
Hey I bought a speedy 25 in store and 6 months later I was watching your video and panicked because you said about the symmetry at both sides of the zip. Mines isn’t completely symmetrical I went back to Louis Vuitton and they sent it to France for it to be checked as I wasn’t happy at all. The head of quality control sent me a letter to say that there’s nothing wrong with my bag, it’s a hand stitched piece and it doesn’t necessarily have to completely match x x
Very informative. Of all the videos I’ve watch researching about this topic, your video has been the most complete and full of information. Keep up your excellent work. Thank you very much! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the *hqluxy* leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations
Well done! Really helpful for those of us who care. It's also important to help people who are taken advantage of or scammed. Deceit and criminal activity should not be tolerated by anyone!
But the truth is who is going to scrutinize your bag like this. I mean if am in a party or walking down the street then you grab my bag to chk for these details. I judge the real and the fake by looking at who is carrying the *esluxscom* . If they dress the part then it must be real. What can I say.
As a Singaporean born and bred, I appreciate your efforts to investigate Aupen's true manufacturing origins. While I can't be 100% sure, I'm fairly certain that their bags are not made in Singapore. Your research is correct: the standard of living here is high, and it's difficult to produce and sell leather bags at this price. If you look at *unidups* (a popular local leather brand), their bags are priced similarly - and are made in a factory in Guangzhou, China, as shown in their product listing.
LOVE how you are sharing your knowledge with us! I'm planning to by a used ones cuz I'm a huge vintage lover and like the older models more but I'm a bit scared to get scammed. This is really helpful

I think what matters is... Are the *esluxs* of good quality? Are they made from the same materials as the originals? If they are I hope the site never fails.
Great video! I too am an LV collector, and like yourself, I love the quality, pristine detail, and long term wearability. My first messenger was purchased in 2003, the Bosphore PM and it's still going strong in 2019 and looking beautiful. I have probably some 25 pieces in my collection from messenger bags both canvas and leather, wallets, belts etc. Your very knowledgeable and have such screen presence and just delightful to watch. Like you I can spot a fake really quickly but also agree...LOVE YOUR BAG whether it's fake or real and mostly...ENJOY it.
Love your channel and your style! Retirement has reduced my spending, but it hasn't changed my style! Because I chose H Q D UPS ha! Thank you for another great video!!
I purchased my first speedy yesterday and I’m glad to see I’m not the only one where the zipper isn’t buttery smooth. Even my SA told me it’s normal nowadays and recommended me to rub the zipper with a white candle, it’s definitely better now. Still not as smooth as a vintage Cabas Mezzo I own though. Thanks for your informative video!!!
Also if you apply a tiny bit of chapstick or zipper wax/candle wax onto the zipper while it is closed. It will make the zipper work waaay better. 😉 I put chapstick on all my zippers. It makes them work phenomal..
I might try this because my LV bag can't close anymore after my daughter borrowed from me, I went to LV store and they said going to cost me $250 for fixed the them 🙄🙄
Hi Emma, I really like your attitude re some people don't care if it's THE real thing & just like the looks, so they opt to get a fake. Like you, I appreciate the workmanship of the bags & each bag is made with pride, with impeccable quality. It's refreshing knowing there are women out there who appreciates the workmanship & thus carry the real thing, yet are NOT snobs. Manny women carry them just so can brag about it to their friends, which frankly that is the reason I kind of stay away from LV even though I really like them. Love to have people like you as friends. All the best.
That's why I'm so scared to buy a 3rd party without touching and smelling it. Yes, I totally see the difference. I’m glad your video is on UA-cam and it’s bringing awareness to this. People have different opinions on the issue of luxury goods, but it mainly depends on one's own ability and not excessive pursuit of fame and fortune. In comparison, I prefer to choose *esluxs*
I’m glad I’ve listened to your speech about real genuine Louis Vuitton. Like you, I’ve got loads of Vuitton bags all real and genuine but I find very interesting to spot the real and fake bags.
Sweetheart there is no difference between the CC’s buckle on the *esluxscom* and real one. You’re seeing things that aren’t there. If a professional came in and told you the CC was a real, you’d probably agree.
No matter if it's the *esluxs* or any other, my steadfast belief stands that only practitioners can perceive dissimilarities in the sack's looks or the metal constituents.
Wow, I’ve never thought about purchasing or owning a Louis Vuitton but with this video at least I can spot those that are real or not and then if I ever decide to purchase one, I’ll know what to look for. Thank you.
Thank you! I learned a lot from you tonight...I bought a pre-owned bag for $500 and I was pretty sure it was real but tonight you just confirmed that for me that it is real...mine was made in February 2005...I have the speedy...it’s old but it’s in great condition and at least I own a real one 😂❤️🙌🏼 I could never afford a brand new one so I’m happy...❤️
And the stitching one her 25mm one is different from another yt vid, the other one had stitches going across below the screw (?), not above, and the other ytber said it should have 5 stitches. Could anyone explain this?
I would love to have you show\ compare the real LV vs. a fake so I could get a good visual. Thank you for a great video! I had a friend show me her “real” LV Speedy and immediately noticed the handles going right through the LV logo.
I loved this! So helpful! I just bought a LV Speedy and this helped so much on me making the decision to buy it. Everything matched up to your signs that the bag is real!
Hmm I think it's good for people who want a taste of designer that can't afford the designer prices. LV, Gucci etc aren't gonna be short of a penny & it's not like they're missing out in the way that it's snatching custom as the people buying those products if taken away aren't necessarily gonna go buy the designer ones. I'm actually going to go have a look at that *esluxs* now myself.
Wow! I love this very in depth information. I never knew about the dustbags having a tag at all. I quickly checked my preloved slg ‘cos it didn’t came with a receipt and i’m so paranoid 🤣. I’m so relieved now. 😊 thanks. New subbie here🙌🏼
I have serious issues with people knocking fakes so you are a breath of fresh air. I have just watched another person authenticating a bag and she says they have 5 stitches across the handle area, where you show 4 and they almost the same style, which is correct? The code, does it refer to weeks and year or months and year both can not be right? I've seen both being referred to in various videos.
I have a speedy 25 from the 80s made in the untied states and they are not made the same. I only mention it bc I was not sure if you were aware. Mine has a split in the bottom and all lvs are right side up
My Neverfull Damier Ebene does not have great symmetry on the sides in terms of the pattern matching up on the seam. I didn’t notice it when I bought it from the LV store and now I wonder if people will think it’s a fake, especially if I ever sell it.
Yeah I've noticed that when I viewed the Neverfulls at LV STORE. They dont line up on the side with matching patterns but If I was you I wouldn't worry about what no one thinks. Real LV lovers knows about that.
I’m not sure why I watched this except I really like your voice and I like seeing wear over time. Lol. I don’t care what the owner looks like I automatically assume every person carrying LV is carrying a replica. It doesn’t matter how “authentic” it looks. So thanks for the education on this.
Hello Emma. I have just purchased Louis Vuitton cité bag from 2003 and the label inside have a small hole in the middle of one side. Does that mean it’s fake? Please answer
@@Divinely_Delicious ...I would not buy simply because of the "principle". If a seller advertises anything as "Original" then I EXPECT "Original"! And if a seller says "Great Fake", I appreciate that too. But, don't try to "scam" me.
@@Myeyeofthebeholder Really? I purchased a preloved $5,000 Chloe python sachel handbag for $350...can't easily do a good job faking that! Yes, I'd rather buy a lightly used designer bag than spend 3 times as much on brand new bag from LV store. Still have it after 5 years...gorgeous!
My friend sells it HIDUPZ It looks like the real thing you showed. It even comes with an authenticity card that matches the serial number of each bag. But her fake was $500.
This is a great video! Very good for new bag collectors like myself. I was thinking though I wonder if the reason fakes are getting better and better is because videos are being made showing all the details of the legit bags?
Interesting tip. Regarding the receipt. I kept the original and I also ask my associate to send the copy of my receipt to my email address and she’s nice enough to do it for me. I have 3 LV bags and 6 small leather goods that I bought here in Spain where all were made in France though
Wow! I am so happy that I watch this before committing to buy from a seller in ebay and upon checking, hers was fake because I count the stitching of the handle just what you mentioned. Omg! There are a lot of fakes out there... also I went to Louis Vuitton’s website and the same number of stitching in there speedy 30.. thank you for this video!🙏🏻 I would have waste my money. I’d like to buy a preloved Louis Vuitton just because I cannot afford to go to the LV store.
I'm looking in eBay now can you tell me which lady because I'm really not sure if I should purchase from her.. at least the state she was coming from or something
Thank you for the great tips. And what a relaxed view on counterfits, I do like that. But at the same time, fakes don't come from nowhere. I kind of wish people made decisions from a more informed point of view I guess, that giving money to fake business might mean you give money to illegal business that do more illegal stuff than simply bags. I'd hate to think any of my consumer money ending up supporting trafficking etc. Of course, it's almost impossible to make sure you're an ethical consumer, but we can try. And of course people might not be able to afford the big brands (like me, hey), and not wanting to get a decent quality non-brand bag etc. But I think people should get fake things knowing in the back of their minds what kind of businesses they might be supporting, at least.
Have a great time!!! Manchester is amazing! I highly recommend a trip to the Selfridges bag department- the Dior customer service is above and beyond and the Louis Vuitton has fantastic stock and plenty of champagne! xx
Fabulous video... I figured - id have heard everything you've said. However you really taught me things idk and I own several of these bags..😂😂😂😂 Everything you said about the semitry idk and found it soo fascinating. I knew in the 80s? They redid the monogram and made the 1 line always end on the same. However idk the diagnol thing would end on same.😍 But, I noticed my bags all line up exatly like you mentioned even on the zipper like you also mentioned. Idk any of this info..lol Great video. Very informative. I think lv bags are soo addictive. The leather is soo amazing and 1 of a kind. Ive never purchased one brand new bag though.😕 (someday😉) Id love to own a brand new one cos I buy off preloved for better deals. Sumday I will buy a brand new one and make my own petina on it. Again fabulous video gorgeous. Thank you im totally subscribing..
I bought my speedy bag in Milan LV boutique store this year in February, but I didn’t getane of those fancy recipes envelope,just normal paper one🤷🏻♀️
Hai emma, i bought a speedy bandouliere made in France at LV store 3 months ago. The date code LA 0129 . And the initial LA represents made in USA. So, I'm wondering why the country code and the made in hot stamp do not match. It this normal? Oh ye, on the handle bag little bit wrinkled not really smooth. Is this normal? Thankyou
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about this ”REAL ” LV or Dupe.. but for me I am enjoying it my dupe LV because I am living in own means and frankly speaking I can not afford ”Luxury” stuff like these. Plus the FACT that I have a family to feed that’s the most important. but yeah I am happy and feel in love with it. Who cares?!🤷🏻♀️ if I am wearing dupe bags as long as I am NOT harming other people. 😂😂
On the canvas, the canvas feels thinner and has a popping sound when you touch it on the real bags. The fake ones have thicker canvas that feels heavy plastic. You will know by the feel of the canvas.
I don’t agree totally n never purchased a replica but these fashion houses make it impossible for those who spend 5K - 10K plus & even buy a bag without waiting for item because it’s sold out n frankly after buying originals for 30 plus years - the quality of originals have suffered n don’t look at good. After spending 6500 on an original I feel robbed as my earlier originals were made much better - so don’t feel bad if you end up with one ...! The designer houses have to up their quality if they are charging those big bucks..! My earlier bags from 1980 to 1999 are made absolutely with the utmost quality..! Thx
i purchased a fake LV from ebay with real packaging one year for Christmas. It was the patent leather candy apple red Alma MM (or the largest size). It was sold out everywhere and my girlfriend at the time really wanted it. I didn't know anything about handbags and I saw it on ebay with the brown packaging as I already had belts, travel case etc during that time and all had the thick brown case. I actually spend $300+ more than the price just to get the exclusive bag/color combo.
Hi Emma! I saw the code on a Louis Vuitton Croisette Damier Ebene “ML 3179” Could you let me know what does it mean, please? Thanks a lot Emma 🤩🙏❤️🌻🌷👍😎🥰😍😘
Just a note to say vintage French Company Speedies will have a split in the canvas on the bottom with the LVs going the proper direction on both sides. They are stunning in my opinion.
I love how you aren't snobby about it. You just show things for people to pay attention to it if they care enough. I love your attitude. "I don't see anything wrong if it makes you happy "😊
thank you. 😃 x

Also if you apply a tiny bit of chapstick or zipper wax/candle wax onto the zipper while it is closed. It will make the zipper work waaay better. 😉 I put chapstick on all my zippers. It makes them work phenomal..
I might try this because my LV bag can't close anymore after my daughter borrowed from me, I went to LV store and they said going to cost me $250 for fixed the them 🙄🙄
I loved the first thing you said... That means enjoy what you have and don’t find out ways to get upset 👸🏻❤️
You should look at some of these AAA replicas now a days. They literally have all the qualities and dimensions you mentioned here.
Hi Emma, I really like your attitude re some people don't care if it's THE real thing & just like the looks, so they opt to get a fake. Like you, I appreciate the workmanship of the bags & each bag is made with pride, with impeccable quality. It's refreshing knowing there are women out there who appreciates the workmanship & thus carry the real thing, yet are NOT snobs. Manny women carry them just so can brag about it to their friends, which frankly that is the reason I kind of stay away from LV even though I really like them. Love to have people like you as friends. All the best.
That's why I'm so scared to buy a 3rd party without touching and smelling it. Yes, I totally see the difference. I’m glad your video is on UA-cam and it’s bringing awareness to this. People have different opinions on the issue of luxury goods, but it mainly depends on one's own ability and not excessive pursuit of fame and fortune. In comparison, I prefer to choose *esluxs*
I love your opinion, Emma. Very down to earth. Very honest. My fav : Life is short! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I’m glad I’ve listened to your speech about real genuine Louis Vuitton. Like you, I’ve got loads of Vuitton bags all real and genuine but I find very interesting to spot the real and fake bags.
Sweetheart there is no difference between the CC’s buckle on the *esluxscom* and real one. You’re seeing things that aren’t there. If a professional came in and told you the CC was a real, you’d probably agree.
Ended up here randomly, but I think you are probably the best person to do this video.
When quality counts... I’ve had Louis pieces that travel the world with me and hold up to horrendous conditions. So it’s got to be real. 🖤
No matter if it's the *esluxs* or any other, my steadfast belief stands that only practitioners can perceive dissimilarities in the sack's looks or the metal constituents.
I love fake rep as long is durable to use now I can afford to buy my house.
Wow, I’ve never thought about purchasing or owning a Louis Vuitton but with this video at least I can spot those that are real or not and then if I ever decide to purchase one, I’ll know what to look for. Thank you.
Absolutely love the coat you are wearing! and the lyxbag bag !
Thank you! I learned a lot from you tonight...I bought a pre-owned bag for $500 and I was pretty sure it was real but tonight you just confirmed that for me that it is real...mine was made in February 2005...I have the speedy...it’s old but it’s in great condition and at least I own a real one 😂❤️🙌🏼 I could never afford a brand new one so I’m happy...❤️
Much appreciated..
I was under the impression there was a minimum of about 7 stitches p/i.
Thank you for the clarity.
And the stitching one her 25mm one is different from another yt vid, the other one had stitches going across below the screw (?), not above, and the other ytber said it should have 5 stitches. Could anyone explain this?
I would love to have you show\ compare the real LV vs. a fake so I could get a good visual. Thank you for a great video! I had a friend show me her “real” LV Speedy and immediately noticed the handles going right through the LV logo.
And YES, The HIDUPZ Tote! I have in Candy Pink and I've been rocking my "Barbie" bag all summer. Yay!
I loved this! So helpful! I just bought a LV Speedy and this helped so much on me making the decision to buy it.
Everything matched up to your signs that the bag is real!
Hmm I think it's good for people who want a taste of designer that can't afford the designer prices. LV, Gucci etc aren't gonna be short of a penny & it's not like they're missing out in the way that it's snatching custom as the people buying those products if taken away aren't necessarily gonna go buy the designer ones. I'm actually going to go have a look at that *esluxs* now myself.
Emma what a wonderful video! Enjoyed and learned a lot. Thank you.
I'm really surprised by the *topluxs* crossbody bag. Love it!
Wow! I love this very in depth information. I never knew about the dustbags having a tag at all. I quickly checked my preloved slg ‘cos it didn’t came with a receipt and i’m so paranoid 🤣. I’m so relieved now. 😊 thanks. New subbie here🙌🏼
This video is perfect for a beginner LV collector, thank you! You're so sweet!
thank you xx
Love your attitude about the real and fake.
Your bags are beautiful! This video totally reignited a dormant desire for anano speedy!
yay!!! (and sorry) xx
Kimberly S wait till you see her in a bikini... gorgeous bags
I have serious issues with people knocking fakes so you are a breath of fresh air. I have just watched another person authenticating a bag and she says they have 5 stitches across the handle area, where you show 4 and they almost the same style, which is correct? The code, does it refer to weeks and year or months and year both can not be right? I've seen both being referred to in various videos.
I have a speedy 25 from the 80s made in the untied states and they are not made the same. I only mention it bc I was not sure if you were aware. Mine has a split in the bottom and all lvs are right side up
Wonderfully informative! Thank you!
Thanks for the wonderful and informative tips! You are smashing!! Love everything about this video!
Thank you xx
My Neverfull Damier Ebene does not have great symmetry on the sides in terms of the pattern matching up on the seam. I didn’t notice it when I bought it from the LV store and now I wonder if people will think it’s a fake, especially if I ever sell it.
Yeah I've noticed that when I viewed the Neverfulls at LV STORE. They dont line up on the side with matching patterns but If I was you I wouldn't worry about what no one thinks. Real LV lovers knows about that.
For the Zippers that are not smooth, I put a little wax on the zipper, i use wax that you melt to make the house smell good, Great video thank you
I like that the fake bag does a better job of aligning the screw heads *aceluxs*
I’m not sure why I watched this except I really like your voice and I like seeing wear over time. Lol. I don’t care what the owner looks like I automatically assume every person carrying LV is carrying a replica. It doesn’t matter how “authentic” it looks. So thanks for the education on this.
One of the best videos I’ve found 😍😍😍
Hello Emma.
I have just purchased Louis Vuitton cité bag from 2003 and the label inside have a small hole in the middle of one side. Does that mean it’s fake? Please answer
Yes, *aceluxs* makes it hard for me to forget the handbag
Thanks for sharing. eBay is full of sellers that have fake receipts with their LV bags.watch out ladies, the super fakes are really good.
so true. I think I would struggle to buy anything without actually seeing it in person first
Hell I’ll buy them if they look that good lol shoot 1000 in my pockets
@@Divinely_Delicious ...I would not buy simply because of the "principle". If a seller advertises anything as "Original" then I EXPECT "Original"! And if a seller says "Great Fake", I appreciate that too. But, don't try to "scam" me.
@@forreal245 honestly if they are selling a 3000$ bag for 400.... Then i think common sence should tell you its not real
@@Myeyeofthebeholder Really? I purchased a preloved $5,000 Chloe python sachel handbag for $350...can't easily do a good job faking that! Yes, I'd rather buy a lightly used designer bag than spend 3 times as much on brand new bag from LV store. Still have it after 5 years...gorgeous!
You had me in the first 42 seconds. Love your attitude😘
great information! And very easy to listen to and watch. Thank you!
I believe no girl can say no to *preluxscom*
Love the bags BUT I'M NOT DOING ALL THAT FOR A BAG ! I CHANGE BAGS TO OFFER TO CARE BUT LOVE THE DETAIL VIDEO👏👏👏👏👏👏
My authentic neverfulls aren’t lined up exactly on the sides so it’s not always true !
My friend sells it HIDUPZ It looks like the real thing you showed. It even comes with an authenticity card that matches the serial number of each bag. But her fake was $500.
I really enjoyed your video! Now I'm excited to check out my monogram pieces for all the points you featured. Can't wait for your next video!
thank you 😃👜xx
This is a great video! Very good for new bag collectors like myself. I was thinking though I wonder if the reason fakes are getting better and better is because videos are being made showing all the details of the legit bags?
Great video, thanks very much. Loads of great tips and advice.👍
Thank you so much . It will help me to spot the Original. I enjoy buying pre love bags online.
Interesting tip. Regarding the receipt. I kept the original and I also ask my associate to send the copy of my receipt to my email address and she’s nice enough to do it for me. I have 3 LV bags and 6 small leather goods that I bought here in Spain where all were made in France though
Good review. Well done. Pls should there be a code inside the dust bag too , same as the date code ? Thanks
Very nice ... thank you for the helpful info. Awesome personality
My pleasure! Thank you x
Wow! I am so happy that I watch this before committing to buy from a seller in ebay and upon checking, hers was fake because I count the stitching of the handle just what you mentioned. Omg! There are a lot of fakes out there... also I went to Louis Vuitton’s website and the same number of stitching in there speedy 30.. thank you for this video!🙏🏻 I would have waste my money. I’d like to buy a preloved Louis Vuitton just because I cannot afford to go to the LV store.
I'm looking in eBay now can you tell me which lady because I'm really not sure if I should purchase from her.. at least the state she was coming from or something
Thank you for the great tips. And what a relaxed view on counterfits, I do like that. But at the same time, fakes don't come from nowhere. I kind of wish people made decisions from a more informed point of view I guess, that giving money to fake business might mean you give money to illegal business that do more illegal stuff than simply bags. I'd hate to think any of my consumer money ending up supporting trafficking etc. Of course, it's almost impossible to make sure you're an ethical consumer, but we can try. And of course people might not be able to afford the big brands (like me, hey), and not wanting to get a decent quality non-brand bag etc. But I think people should get fake things knowing in the back of their minds what kind of businesses they might be supporting, at least.
My friend and I are coming to Manchester in Oct. 2018! We are looking forward to our visit.
Have a great time!!! Manchester is amazing! I highly recommend a trip to the Selfridges bag department- the Dior customer service is above and beyond and the Louis Vuitton has fantastic stock and plenty of champagne! xx
I don’t care if it’s real or fake. I can pretend I have a designer bag lol. 😂
As long as the replica price is right!!!
clown
We are all entitled to our opinions.
Crystal Daughter of the Sun hahahahaha
Makendu imagine paying retail price for the con of luxury brands 🤡
HEY #LYXBAG!! I have been watching you for years and im so proud of where you have made it! I love you so much! Also thanks for making my day
Another channel showed five stitches across for the handle strap base? The same channel said date 0145 would stand for April 2015?
Fabulous video... I figured - id have heard everything you've said. However you really taught me things idk and I own several of these bags..😂😂😂😂 Everything you said about the semitry idk and found it soo fascinating. I knew in the 80s? They redid the monogram and made the 1 line always end on the same. However idk the diagnol thing would end on same.😍 But, I noticed my bags all line up exatly like you mentioned even on the zipper like you also mentioned. Idk any of this info..lol Great video. Very informative. I think lv bags are soo addictive. The leather is soo amazing and 1 of a kind. Ive never purchased one brand new bag though.😕
(someday😉) Id love to own a brand new one cos I buy off preloved for better deals. Sumday I will buy a brand new one and make my own petina on it. Again fabulous video gorgeous. Thank you im totally subscribing..
I bought my speedy bag in Milan LV boutique store this year in February, but I didn’t getane of those fancy recipes envelope,just normal paper one🤷🏻♀️
I buy this month LV i dont know also if fake or not but i enjoy it my new bag .😄
Hai emma, i bought a speedy bandouliere made in France at LV store 3 months ago. The date code LA 0129 . And the initial LA represents made in USA. So, I'm wondering why the country code and the made in hot stamp do not match.
It this normal?
Oh ye, on the handle bag little bit wrinkled not really smooth. Is this normal?
Thankyou
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about this ”REAL ” LV or Dupe.. but for me I am enjoying it my dupe LV because I am living in own means and frankly speaking I can not afford ”Luxury” stuff like these. Plus the FACT that I have a family to feed that’s the most important. but yeah I am happy and feel in love with it. Who cares?!🤷🏻♀️ if I am wearing dupe bags as long as I am NOT harming other people. 😂😂
On the canvas, the canvas feels thinner and has a popping sound when you touch it on the real bags. The fake ones have thicker canvas that feels heavy plastic. You will know by the feel of the canvas.
thanks for the tip x
I don’t agree totally n never purchased a replica but these fashion houses make it impossible for those who spend 5K - 10K plus & even buy a bag without waiting for item because it’s sold out n frankly after buying originals for 30 plus years - the quality of originals have suffered n don’t look at good. After spending 6500 on an original I feel robbed as my earlier originals were made much better - so don’t feel bad if you end up with one ...! The designer houses have to up their quality if they are charging those big bucks..! My earlier bags from 1980 to 1999 are made absolutely with the utmost quality..! Thx
Great information. What do you do with all your boxes and dust bags?
I love your sharing! That’s why I always buy at Louis Vuitton store, it never go wrong!
Authentic LV from the 80's, and early 2000's (2006) is better quality. Nice video!!!
i purchased a fake LV from ebay with real packaging one year for Christmas. It was the patent leather candy apple red Alma MM (or the largest size). It was sold out everywhere and my girlfriend at the time really wanted it. I didn't know anything about handbags and I saw it on ebay with the brown packaging as I already had belts, travel case etc during that time and all had the thick brown case. I actually spend $300+ more than the price just to get the exclusive bag/color combo.
Hi Emma! I saw the code on a Louis Vuitton Croisette Damier Ebene “ML 3179” Could you let me know what does it mean, please? Thanks a lot Emma 🤩🙏❤️🌻🌷👍😎🥰😍😘
Just a note to say vintage French Company Speedies will have a split in the canvas on the bottom with the LVs going the proper direction on both sides. They are stunning in my opinion.
wow-very nice- thank you. xx
